Look Whose 4!

Dan with his presents.

We celebrated Daniel's 4th birthday on June 23rd. I can't believe how big this kid is getting. He is such a fun boy to have around. When he was little he was always very serious, quite, and did a lot of watching. The older he gets the more he is coming out of his shell and becoming a very funny and awesome little boy. Daniel absolutely loves video games, He likes to tell jokes and make people laugh, and he is always good to give me a hug and a kiss and tell me he loved me. When you get Dan outside he really comes alive. He likes to hike and swim and camp and run around. He is such a joy to have around and I love watching him grow up.

Opening presents.

We had a simple party for Dan this year. He got a Jake and the Neverland Pirate ship and some characters from the show. He got a butterfly net and a Skylander from mom and dad. I think my favorite part about Dan's birthday this year was the fact that his 4 older brothers and sisters put their money together to buy Dan a Skylander because they know how much he liked them. It's moments like that that make a mom's heart a little bigger.

He liked his bug catching net.

Daniel LOVES Skylanders

I'll be the first to admit that Daniel's cake this year was the worst cake I have ever made. I have no excuse, it was just awful. I made him a Mickey Mouse cake because he loves all things Disney. I thought I had chocolate frosting, but I was wrong. Not only that, but I didn't have white frosting (only cream) so it just turned out really bad. Good thing he's only 4 and he didn't really care. He loved it and that's all that matters. I guess it's good to have the worst, awful cake out of the way. It's only up from here.

Yummy!
